Dark Within (The Mythical Knights Book #1) by Candice Gilmer

Blurb:

There
are monsters, then there are monsters. Which kind wants her dead?

The Mythical Knights, Book 1

There was a time Marissa van Dyke loved Halloween.
Then tragedy struck. Now the sight of a jack-o-lantern only reminds her of what
she's lost. In fact, she'd prefer to just hibernate.

But recently her nightmares are becoming too
intense to ignore. Dreams filled with horror-movie creatures that come closer
to killing her every time. Where these vampires and werewolves are coming from,
she doesn't know. She only knows they're relentless.

Neil Drigan has no interest in finding a mate.
Bind himself to one woman? No thank you. Permanent is for the wolf pack
Alpha--his brother. Yet lately he persistently dreams about running, in full
wolf form, to save a beautiful woman who smells of flowers--and death.

At first the woman's identity is a mystery, until
he realizes the dreams are a residual imprint of something that really
happened. Not only is the woman temptation wrapped in real flesh and blood,
she's still in danger. And the one thing he never thought he wanted.

Originally released as
"Unholy Night" 2008-2012. Since expanded and fully revamped. (No pun
intended, lol. Okay, maybe a little one)

Warning: Werewolves, vampires, Templar Knights
with attitudes, and a girl who must face her biggest fear in order to find love.

My review:

Werewolf Neil Drigan gave his brother and Alpha a
hard time when he was trying to woo his mate in Brightest Shadow (The
Mythical Knights Book #0.5) by Candice Gilmer. He has no plans to settle down anytime soon. But life is
what happens while you are making plans. On the night of the full moon Neil is
supposed to be safely locked up in his cage with the rest of his pack but
luckily for Marissa van Dyke he slipped his cage making him available to save
her from a vicious vampire attack. Now Marissa is dragged into the world of
vampires, werewolves, Templars and other Mythicals. Neil has to find a way to
help Marissa past her own fears and has to get over his own. These two
characters are great and I love the world building by the author. If you want a sweet Halloween story this book fits
the bill.Complimentary copy provided by author/publisher
